        Lets add to the question: what do you all think of the gas (propane
or natural gas) generators.  I like the idea of not having gasoline around
and, usually, having a continuous fuel supply.  A couple of 20 pound propane
tanks (doing double duty with a BBQ)  for the times that the piped supply is
out along with the electricity - a rare occurrence (I only lost gas service
once - during the 89 quake).

        Thoughts?  vendors?
